Today in the Health Justice newsletter, we are rooting ourselves in care and community. First, Notes from the Frontlines columnist Deepa Iyer gathers reflections from the field on supporting LGBTQ+ youth by resourcing the loving, resilient communities they need. Next, after a disaster, immigrant workers are often instrumental in rebuilding as “second responders,” but they are also vulnerable to increased health hazards and exploitation on the job. How should communities support these critical helpers? Then, Black Mamas Matter Alliance Founder Angela Doyinsola Aina discusses how the group continues to fight for Black maternal health rights, and calls for funders to support the work. Finally, we invite you to our July Premium webinar, “Organizing in Divided Times: The Relational Infrastructure We Need to Protect Democracy,” on Thursday, July 24.
